John 4:45

John 4:45 says, Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.  The people of Galilee came to Jesus because they had seen what He did at Jerusalem at the feast, because they had also been there.  The Samaritans had come to Him because of what He said, and the people of Galilee because of the things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast.  We need to come because He calls, without the need for earthly signs.  Salvation is its own sign of the truth of Jesus being the Christ. Verse forty-six adds, So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.  While in the city of Cana, where He turned the water to wine, a nobleman from Capernaum, whose son was sick, came to see Jesus.  When we have sick people, we are worried about, the first thing we need to do is seek Jesus through prayer.  Verse forty-seven adds, When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.  Verse forty-eight continues, Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.  The man's son was close to death, so he wanted Jesus to come to him and heal Him.  He was limiting the power of God by thinking Jesus had to physically come to his son to heal him.  We need to always put everything in God's hands and not attempt to tell Him how to accomplish what needs to be done.  We often miss the blessing of God because we are waiting for signs and wonders.  Verse forty-nine concludes, The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.  The man again asked Jesus to come, still not understanding the true power of Jesus. Verse fifty declares, Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way Jesus told him to go on his way, because his son lived.  The nobleman went on his way in faith.  Would we have gone, or would we have stayed begging Jesus to do our will?  At times, even after God has answered our prayers, we continue to beg for our will to be done.  Verse fifty-one adds, And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.  Before he even got home, the nobleman' s servants met him to say that his son lived.  We may miss a miracle because we are afraid to go in faith.  Verse fifty-two continues, Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.  When he asked when his son got better and they told him.  Verse fifty-three concludes, So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.  The father knew it was at the time Jesus had told him his son lived.  He went on his way in faith and received the miracle he needed.  We need to go on our way in faith, and miracles will come along the way.  If we sit waiting for a miracle, we may miss it because we are not where God wants us to be.  Verse fifty-four says, This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.  This was Jesus' second miracle.  As long as people believe in Jesus and put their faith in Him, miracles do happen.
